Shashwat Pragya

Non-Vegetarian:
Suppression of good
human sentiments
Meat- eating represses kindness,
passion, love and other good
human tendencies.

is a beautiful instance of Maharshi Charak. Once he asked from his disciples-


Here Koruk, Koruk, Koruk (means tell me who is not ill but healthy). To this one of his
pupil Vagbhatt replied- Hit-bhuk,Mit-bhuk and Ritu-bhuk. Means a person who takes proper,
calculated and balanced diet, chosen according to the season is the healthy person. A person
shall prepare diet chart according to his nature (knowing about vat, pitt and kapha). The diet
decides the tendency and the nature of a human being. Vegetarian makes a human calm while
non-vegetarian incites violence. As far as nature is concerned, in a vat nature with gastric
troubles, person shall avoid rice and other products, which adds to the gastric problem. Such
tendency persons shall also avoid diet with bitter character and use more of ginger, `pippali`.
Human beings with pitta nature shall avoid hot, roasted products and rely more on bottle
gourd, cucumber and raw food. Persons with kapha tendency shall avoid excess use of cold
character edibles like rice, curd, butter- milk. When diet is prepared based on the season, dis-
eases keep away. Moreover taking meal at fix time in routine is very helpful. Untimely eat-
ing causes diseases.
In morning 8 am to 9 am take light diet like juice or fruits. More the restricted use of
grains in the morning hours, more it is beneficial to the body. Persons above 50 years of age
shall totally avoid grains in the morning. Lunch shall be taken in for-noon hours, between 11
am to 12 noons. Taking lunch between 12 to 1 pm is considered acceptable but after 1 pm is
harmful. Dinner is better between 7 and 8 in evening. Dinner between 8 pm to 9 pm is accept-
able but after it, as Yoga science suggests, is harmful. It is better to avoid talking during meals,
as it is difficult to crunch it properly besides the talking could cause over-eating. Meal shall
always be crunched properly. One morsel shall be munched at least 20 times.
Even the violent tendency in a human being is also suppressed if morsel is munched prop-
erly. A couplet in Sanskrit says a person waking-up in morning and takes light diet, take milk
after dinner and butter milk after lunch does not need doctor for the life. Avoid use of eggs
and meat in diet. The almighty has made us vegetarian. When we can survive without killing
anyone then why to kill any creature just for the sake of taste. It is better to die than living on
non-vegetarian diet. Meat eating suppresses kindness, compassion, love, sympathy and dedi-
cation. Man turns into demon. His stomach is like a crematorium.

Swami Ramdev has blown the bugle for reforms. To bring effective change in the corrupt and rotten ruling and
working system of the nation, Swami Ramdevji Maharaj has undertaken Bharat Swabhiman Yatra. Contribute and

of truth defeating injustice, sin and corruption prevalent in the society and nation, simultaneously being
free from the greed of rule and throne. Likewise, presently, our nation is surrounded by almost the same
problems. The national character is receding fast. Corruption, black money, rotten system, conspiracy
of multi-nationals are playing key role in the degradation of the country. In such odd circumstances, with
no ray of hope, Most revered Swami Ramdevji Maharaj is trying hard to make nation disease and intox-

Baba Ramdev is now much popular not only at
national level but also at international level. He is
known as Yoga Guru. He is trying to popularize
age-old tradition of Yoga, which was on the verge
of extinction to match it with modern era. And he
has succeeded up to a large extent. He has re-estab-
lish Ayurveda as an important and useful branch of
medicine. Since last many years he is traveling
across the length and breadth of the nation, making
people aware of the benefits of Ayurveda. It is the
branch of medicine in which stress is laid on
medicinal natural products and not prepared in
pharmaceutical companies. The efforts of Baba
Ramdev have paid dividends and now - Yoga and
Ayurveda have become immense popular among a
large cross section of the society.
Baba Ramdev is serving the society through his
social and cultural efforts. He believes that reviving
the fundamentals of Indian culture would not only
develop our country as a strong and progressive
nation but could help in establishing a peaceful

It is not wrong to say that whatever sacrifice our
ancestors have given to get the nation free from the
shackles of the British people has been devalued.
Lakhs of crores of money has been deposited in
Swiss banks. Baba Ramdev has promised to bring
this money back to the nation. The money is so
huge that it could not only pay all the foreign debts
but also get rid of poverty of the nation. The first
political objective of Baba Ramdev is to turn nation
a corruption free and develop such a system where
irregularities and wrong deeds would have no
place. He is trying to develop a system for the peo-
ple and by the people.
He also believes that the growth and progress of the
nation shall stand on the traditional culture and civ-
ilization. Thus we would have to avoid western cul-
ture, which is hell bound to de-mean the Indian val-
ues and system. This nation has been, since decades
based on rural based economy. Hence the new for-
mula of economy shall be based on the same
ground. In 70s era, Loknayak Jaiprakash Narayan
sowed the sapling of total revolution and now Baba
Ramdev is trying to revive the same movement.
His political philosophy is based on the thoughts of
Indian seers and he want to construct a new India
on its pillars.
